During WWII the U.S. Government interned 15,000 German-American civilians, including citizens and 4,058 Latin-American Germans brought here and later exchanged for Nazi-held Americans. Perhaps the least known chapter of American WWII history, its legacy has implications for today.
On April 12th Dodgeville area residents heard the story of the internment and viewed the TRACES mobile museum exhibit. If you would like to learn more about the German-American Civilian Internment during WWII the library has a list of resources available on this topic. We are also planning a community discussion session for later this summer. Contact us if you would like further information.
The Battle of the Books 2008 reading list is now available.
